Our COVID-19 research

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic that threatens the physical and mental wellbeing of everyone in society. The ARU research community has rapidly responded by committing to world leading research, to understand, and develop interventions to address, the significant detrimental impact this pandemic is having on the communities we serve.

We are leading research which involves a range of world-leading experts from across the globe to ensure our research has an impact locally, nationally and internationally. The interdiscipinary ARU COVID-19 Research Group consists of 36 academic members from across multiple faculties and is being led by Dr Lee Smith, Reader in Physical Activity and Public Health.
